The 2007 analysis of information remaining on disks offered for sale on the second hand market

The purpose of this on-going research has been to gain an understanding of the information that remains on disposed hard disks and to determine the level of damage that could, potentially be caused, if the information fell into the wrong hands. The study examines disks that have been obtained in a number of countries to determine whether there is any detectable national or regional variance in the way that the disposal of computer disks is addressed and to compare the results for any other detectable regional or temporal trends.

Ambient Engineering, Inc. (Concord, MA) used Sitelab to investigate and remediate a former tank farm along Boston Harbor contaminated by a large, subsurface plume of commingled diesel fuel and No. 6 fuel oil. Loading racks (above) are suspected to have contributed to most of the site’s contamination. Light Non Aqueous Phase Liquids (LNAPL) collected from 40 monitoring wells were tested using the UVF-3100 analyzer on-site to fingerprint the types of petroleum in order to design a recovery system.

An environmental consultant at Subsurface Environmental Solutions, LLC used Sitelab to fingerprint a large plume of Non Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPL) located at a former oil refinery in Kansas. The plume is commingled with gasoline, diesel, crude oil and other petroleum products.Sitelab’s portable UVF-3100D analyzer is fitted with optical filters which can measure the C6 to C10 gasoline range hydrocarbons, like BTEX, separately from the C10 to C36 diesel/oil range hydrocarbons. Samples take just a few...

An oil company used Sitelab’s laboratory to perform oil forensic analysis testing crude oils from different well sites to determine the percentage of oil content from two formations. The wells tap into these zones at different depths, thousands of feet below the ground. Knowing what type of oil being pumped is important.All six oil samples had similar GRO content, but the PAH content in the Chester and Mississippi reference oils are much different. PAHs in the four wells used for comparison fall in between...

When a site is contaminated with petroleum products, there are many questions.Howdid it happen?Whendid it happen? And, most importantly,whois responsible for paying to clean it up? This fall,Rutgers University’s Office of Continuing Professional Education (OCPE)will help professionals answer those questions in its completely revampedEnvironmental Forensicstraining course.

In August 2011 a test cell of 6 inch thick concrete surfacing placed over of special open graded Limestone aggregate base predominantly 8 inches (203 mm) thick was constructed at the MnROAD research facility. The two layers overlaid an existing 6 inch (150 mm) of MnDOT non–drainable aggregate base that overlaid a clay/silt sub–grade. In July 2012, an extensive cracking pattern was observed. This paper discusses data analysis, semi–destructive testing investigations and design re–examination to ascertain cause(s)...
